    IDENTIFY DEVICE returns the true size of the hard drive. READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS returns the true size of the hard drive. SET MAX ADDRESS reduces the reported size of the hard drive. READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS returns the true size of the hard drive. An HPA has been created. IDENTIFY DEVICE returns the now fake size of the hard drive.

    The software then tells the hard disk drive to unload its heads to prevent them from coming in contact with the platters, thus potentially preventing a head crash. [1] Many laptop vendors have implemented this technology under different names. [2] Some hard-disk drives also include this technology, needing no cooperation from the system. [3]

    This can be avoided by unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance." [3] Standby power used by older devices can be as high as 10–15 W per device, [4] while a modern HD LCD television may use less than 1 W in standby mode. Some appliances use no energy when turned off.

    Flux control MAMR (FC-MAMR) allows a hard drive to have increased recording capacity without the need for new hard disk drive platter materials. MAMR hard drives have a microwave-generating spin torque generator (STO) on the read/write heads which allows physically smaller bits to be recorded to the platters, increasing areal density.

    APM defines five power states for the computer system: Full On: The computer is powered on, and no devices are in a power saving mode. APM Enabled: The computer is powered on, and APM is controlling device power management as needed. APM Standby: Most devices are in their low-power state, the CPU is slowed or stopped, and the system state is saved.

    Trains often have a facility in each car to enable passengers to apply the brakes in case of emergency. In many modern trains, the driver is able to prevent brake activation when a passenger operates the emergency alarm [3] - an audible warning is sounded, and the driver is then able to talk to the person who activated the alarm on the intercom and see them on an internal CCTV.
